0629 Siege
Black clouds shrouded Tianhua City, the largest ancient city in the Jiangzhong region, with a history of more than 500 years, it was once the most prosperous capital of the previous dynasty, but now it is like a large tomb, outside the dark city wall are countless victims, huddled under the city wall and crying and pleading.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The dull sound of war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and not far from the city was a large open farmland, but the crops had already turned into criss-crossing trenches, and rusty iron cannons were lined up one by one, and a large number of Ye family soldiers were tied with red cloth on their heads, holding swords and guns, and waiting for the battle.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Countless cavalry poured over from the edge of the sky, almost all of them were heavy cavalry, holding the most sophisticated air conduction horse lance, and the word "wind forest" was written on the military flag waving in the wind, and the banner of the Chinese army was - General Zhao!
"Hmph~ Gossip Xuan Turtle Array, what a big dog guts......"
The commander of the Wind Forest Army rode out on a war horse, standing in front of the battle in a suit of silver armor, and a deputy general said disdainfully: "These deceitful and famous-stealing people, they want to fight for a good reputation when they are dying, and they go out of the city to meet the battle and say that they want to protect the victims, but if you really want to protect them, why not let them enter the city?"
"This is protection, this is using the disaster victims as a meat shield, not letting us attack the city......"
The commander sneered and said, "Brothers, there is not much left for us to fight, if we take Tianhua City, we can point to Jinling City and face the group of young master soldiers of the Red Feather Army, how much is their salary?"
"The military salary is twice as high as ours, and the equipment is three times more expensive than ours......"
The generals of the Fenglin Army all scoffed, and the commander smiled: "These trapped troops are not bad, they live with less money and are closer to home, this soldier is really fucking cool, our Fenglin Army really can't compare, do you say that we are attacking, or attacking, or attacking?"
"Woo Woo ......"
The generals pulled out the long knives in their waists one after another, and someone said loudly: "When the group of broken mouths of the Yin Army come up, they will definitely go up to persuade them to surrender, if they all surrender, what kind of soldiers will the brothers be, and where will they be promoted to become rich?"
"Brethren!"
The commander drew his saber and shouted: "Time is not waiting for me! When the Yin army comes up, we can't even eat, and the gang style is all pushed up by Lao Tzu, and after three rounds, they broke their Xuangui formation, and after taking Tianhua City, all of them are cool for three days!"
"Oh!!"
The wind forest army cheered, they almost never fought after coming out of the grassland, and they surrendered everywhere along the way, and finally met a trapped-up army who was not afraid of death, and ran to fight them to the death outside the city, how could they miss such a good opportunity.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The wind forest army tacitly separated the left and right, further expanding the battle line, and the trapped troops in front also became nervous, and the main general shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to serve the prince, we must not let these traitors enter our position and open fire!"
"Bang ......"
Hundreds of iron gates fired a hundred cannons in an instant, but they were not border troops or Beiwei army, the rusty iron cannons had not been used for many years, and this round of salvo fire exposed the shortcomings, not only did the iron cannons explode on the spot, but even the firing range was not calculated.
"Hahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter from the Wind Forest Army, no one knew the range of artillery better than them, they scattered and cruised on both sides, all hovering on the edge of the range, and the other side didn't even know how to shoot alternately, they saw the opportunity to turn around and sprint.
"Archer prepare!"
The commander of the trap army hurriedly shouted, with their unfamiliar reloading speed, it was impossible to fire again in two minutes, but two minutes was enough for the opponent to rush over, and the archers had to climb the trench if they wanted to shoot arrows, otherwise they would not even be able to see where the enemy was.
"Whoosh ......"
The Wind Forest Army actually shot first, they all used the crossbows of the border army, and the speed of the horses sprinting was farther than the bow and arrow, and the archers fell down a large number as soon as they got the arrows, and even the arrows hiding in the trenches were hit, and the screams came and went in an instant.
"Huh~"
The wind forest cavalry whistled one after another, and the spearmen of the trap army were ready, but they suddenly separated left and right, and turned around and ran before the formation, and tens of thousands of horses and horses shot the arrows in their hands alternately, and the trap army cried and shouted for their mother.
"Dangdangdang......"
The arrows of the trapped army did not work at all, and the charging cavalry was heavily armoured, and the armor-piercing arrows thrown could not be pierced, and they all set grass targets on the horse's buttocks, and even the horse's buttocks would not be injured, which perfectly presented the attack tactics of the steppe cavalry.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The Wind Forest Army rushed down a large group of cavalry again, this time it was all light cavalry, and the loaded cannons hurriedly opened fire, but they did not shoot flowering shells, and the light cavalry moving at high speed was a detour, and accurately out of range.
"Rush !!"
The third group of heavy cavalry rushed out with a bang, and the trapped army almost didn't go crazy, and the Jiangbei army had enough experience on the grassland, almost alternate impacts that could not be attacked, and everyone cooperated very tacitly, and began to throw crossbow arrows when they reached the range.
"Dangdangdang......"
The trapping army hid behind their shields and did not even dare to raise their heads, and the archers did not have a long range, so they hid in the trenches in fright, but the third group of heavy horsemen did not run away after releasing their arrows, but took out small clay pots, picked them up with ropes, and threw them into the spearmen.
"Fire oil! It's ...... oil oil"
The spearmen were frightened and confused for a moment, and the other party threw out thousands of cans of fire oil at once, and ran away in a roundabout way in front of them, bows and arrows still tickled them, but the cavalry at the back had already ignited the rocket, and shot the rocket at them with a cruel smile.
"Boom~"
The front of the battle formation instantly turned into a sea of fire, the screams of the soldiers were terrible and shocking, and the good battle array was completely chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the gunpowder was ignited under your push and squeezing, and the artillery positions exploded one after another, and even the iron cannons were blown up to the sky.
"Kill !!"
The fourth group of cavalry rushed down again, and the Jiangbei Army did not lack war horses, but this time it was a large-scale charge, and the horses who charged before were rested.
"Boom !!"
The men and horses on both sides collided violently, and the more than two-meter-long horse lance stabbed two or three people, coupled with the strong impact of the war horse, the infantry line was easily rushed out of a big gap, and the infantry in the trench was a little lamb to be slaughtered, and the cavalry could stab them above without dismounting.
"Cavalry! outflanking ......"
The main general let out a desperate roar, but the best thing for the Fenglin army is to fight cavalry, not to mention that the cavalry of others is far less than them, and the reserves in the rear suddenly broke away from the battle formation and killed the cavalry rushing out from the side in a straight line.
"Kill into Tianhua City, cool for three days......"
The 80,000 Wind Forest Army only has half the strength of the opponent, but the combat effectiveness shown is devastating, all the cavalry keeps attacking back and forth, the trenches are filled alive by corpses, and the trapped army is a moving gold ingot in their eyes.
"Don't rob Lao Tzu, the head is our ......"
The Wind Forest Army has all been killed, a big city just think about how many treasures there are, even if the battle is one-sided, they are merciless, after this battle may not be fought, this is their last chance to be promoted and make a fortune.
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of chopping meat is endless, and the screams are even more earth-shattering, and at this moment, the trapped army understands how big the gap between them and the Fenglin army is, everyone is fighting in groups of gangs, and the tacit understanding is seamless, and it is full of tricks, and there are people who are responsible for throwing earth mines in the back.
"Let !!"
Many of the Fenglin soldiers suddenly shouted, and the main general who was fighting bloody battles turned around suddenly, only to see a black horse rushing out from the rear, and the commander on the horse jumped up directly, and a horse lance pierced his body protection Xuanqi, and stabbed him off the corpse pile.
"Puff~"
The lord fell to the ground heavily, and the broken knife in his hand also fell out, clenching the horse lance that was inserting him in pain, looking up at the other party and panting: "Qin, Qin Qinan! You are actually a general soldier, what benefits did Zhao Yunxuan's thief give you, and you actually rebelled with him?"
"You're the one who rebelled, Lord Wang......"
Qin Qinan bent down and sneered: "We are ordered to crusade against the puppet emperor's department, along the way, the people support it, everyone loves it, the city sees the city open, the Beiguan army, the Xiangbei army, and the mountain army all surrender, and you are the only lone army left, and even the Red Feather Army has cut off the table with the puppet emperor!"
"That's not what the Holy Decree says, the emperor said that Zhao Yunxuan is the anti-thief......"
Lord Wang's eyes widened in disbelief, but Qin Qinan mocked: "Are you a pig?" The court has already stripped King Zhou of the throne, and he has deceived you, but I won't tell the prince that you have been deceived, thank you for giving us credit!haha~"
"Poof~"
Qin Qinan cut off the opponent's head with a knife, grabbed the head and stood high on the corpse pile, only some remnants of the defeated army were left in the tragic battlefield, but he shouted loudly: "The trapped army refuses to surrender, there is no forgiveness for killing, and there is no surrender, and the fire battalion will open the city gate for Lao Tzu!"
"Yes!!"
The soldiers of the Fenglin Army shouted loudly, and they all raised their swords and fell, cutting down the prisoners who had surrendered, and the sappers quickly turned the muzzles of the guns, and with very skillful operation, they aimed dozens of iron cannons at the city gate, and at the sound of an order, the artillery fired a volley.
"Bang~"
The heavy city gate was instantly blown into ashes, and the victims were scared and cried, but the city gate hole was not blocked with stones, and the red-eyed wind forest army was all like chicken blood, frantically rushing towards the city, this was the first big city they captured.
"This Qin Qinan is anxious for quick success, yang and yin, why do you want to use this kind of person......"
Emperor Shunyao stood on the mountain holding a telescope, Zhao Guanren squatted on the big stone and said: "First of all, he is a good general, decisive in action, brave in battle, and secondly, he is a good official, strict in governing the army, clear rewards and punishments, the key is that he can take his subordinates to promote and make a fortune!"
"But this kind of person has always been a grass ...... the wall"
Emperor Shunyao shook his head contemptuously, but Zhao Guanren said: "Knowing people and making good use of them, just prescribe the right medicine, the important thing is that he is from the grassroots, I am his only backer, just see if he is cautious enough this time, if he connives, his subordinates will rob the people, he will be the commander!"
"Will Ye Yunchen hide in Tianhua City, it shouldn't be possible for him to run out of the encirclement......
Emperor Shunyao turned his head to look, Zhao Guanren jumped off the stone and said: "It will definitely be there, otherwise the two brothers of the Ye family will not defend Tianhua City to the death, waiting for their reinforcements from the west road to come to the rescue, let's hurry into the city, this time we can't let him run away again!"
